Robots for research and development

Research robots are open platforms to experiment with: robot arms, mobile manipulators, humanoids and robot dogs with access to sensors and software. They are used in labs, at universities and in corporate innovation teams.

The application at a glance

Start with the work process

Compare the tasks below with your workplace. Capabilities vary by model, setup and supervision.

  • Open software
  • Sensors and data
  • Long-term support

Operational context

What does this application require?

Research has different priorities than production: open software (often ROS), access to sensor data, extensibility and an active user community. Also check documentation, spare parts and how long the manufacturer supports the platform. A prototype or showcase model is often not directly available.

Staff shortages and peak load

Predictable processes without unnecessary complexity

Scalability without an immediate heavy investment

Service, training and acceptance on the shop floor

Choices that go with this application

Use comparisons to set robot types, supplier routes and lease choices side by side more calmly.

Service robots

Pudu vs Keenon serving robots

Pudu and Keenon are well-known names in service robots for hospitality and internal delivery. The best choice depends mainly on route, support, model type and supplier in the Netherlands.

Manufacturing and humanoids

Cobot vs humanoid

Cobots are often more concretely deployable for well-defined production tasks. Humanoids are broader and more interesting as a market development, but usually less mature for direct use.

Service robots

Best serving robots

The best serving robot is usually the one that fits your route, team, service model and supplier. This comparison helps hospitality businesses select more calmly.

Frequently asked questions

Short answers for a sober first orientation. No hard claims about availability or prices.

What makes a robot suitable for research?

Open software and interfaces, access to sensors and motors, good documentation and a user community that shares solutions.

Are humanoids suitable for research yet?

Some are, as a research platform. Availability, price and support differ strongly per model; many humanoids are still prototypes or showcases.
